Shogun Flame

Change the way you shoot with Log. Record Log in 4K or HD ProRes/DNxHR from video or raw cameras with the Shogun Flame's HDMI or SDI inputs and thanks to the AtomHDR engine's combination of 10+ stops dynamic range, 1500nit brightness and 10-bit color processing you can monitor the HDR Log with vivid, natural colors.

Get ahead of the log curve

Cameras with Log output (S-Log2, S-Log3, C-Log, V-Log etc) already have the 10+ stops of dynamic range needed for High Dynamic Range (HDR). Be at the forefront of the HDR revolution sweeping the industry by having a field monitor capable of resolving HDR in the field as you see it in Post Production and record the original Log image direct from the sensor for HDR grading in post production.

Scenes ignite with 1500NITS of light

Not all scenes call for HDR Log recording. In situations that don't call for 10 stops of dynamic range, use the intensity of the 1500nit panel to monitor traditional standard dynamic range (SDR/Rec709) video at high brightness for outdoor monitoring.

Widest camera compatibility

The HDMI connection is compatible up to 4Kp30 and the SDI connection has compatibity up to 12G ensuring you are future proofed as the SMPTE standard updates. The built-in bi-directional conversion allows HDMI cameras to be integrated into a SDI workflow or connect SDI cameras with HDMI flat panels.

Unlock the RAW from Sony & Canon

Output the 4K/HD Raw from select cameras (Sony FS7/FS700 & Canon C300MKII/C500) over SDI and record direct to 10-bit 4:2:2 ProRes or DNxHR. Capturing Raw using the Shogun Flame is a free feature with no additional licensing costs and lets you immediately take advantage of our affordable media platform bypassing the need for proprietary cards and media.

Record professional 4K & HD

Recording 4K and high frame rate HD within the camera might seem enough but unless you record with the right codec you're restricting flexibility in post and even run the risk of having your footage technically rejected. Along with the high pixel density of 4K, the Shogun Flame records higher resolution 10-bit color information, more precise yet efficient 4:2:2 color encoding and to visually lossless, edit-ready codecs like Apple ProRes or AVID DNxHR. Now you're recording professionally, capturing full individual frames just like film and opening up more creativity in post and grading

Continuous power is back... with super fast charging

Our patented continuous power system pioneered on our HD products are back on the 4K range. The hot swappable dual battery system that automatically swaps to the second battery when power is low, coupled with the blazingly fast battery charger and dual 4-cell batteries (optional accessories) means that continuous power in the field is all but assured.

Monitor & record XLR audio

The Shogun Flame has professional audio to match professional video. Monitor up to 8ch of embedded HDMI audio, up to 12ch of SDI audio or use the included XLR breakout cable to connect with external microphones for balanced analogue audio with 48V phantom power. Audio control is simple with dedicated meters and menus to select channels for recording/monitoring and adjustments for frame delay and gain.

Advanced recording capability

Outside of 10-bit 4:2:2 ProRes/DNx, the Ninja Flame adds recording functionality not found in other recorders. Trigger start/stop recording over HDMI from select Canon, Sony, Panasonic, Nikon cameras. Convert interlace video from your camera to progressive on the fly with built-in 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown and gain advanced functionality like Pre-roll (continuous cache recording to never miss the action) and Time lapse to maximise your creativity.

"I am confident that AtomHDR will be the new monitoring standard among productions of all scales"

Tesla

The Tesla Shoot:

Cloakroom Media & Flying Dragon Aerial teamed up on a TVC production for Tesla Motors Australia. We were given two production days to complete the filming and put together some cutting edge kit to film from the land and the skies (a pair of Freefly Systems ALTA’s coupled with MoVI M15’s, a Freefly Systems TERO and RED Epic Dragon on both ALTA’s to decrease setup times between each sequence). We were delighted to be invited to test out two pre release products labelled the Atomos Ninja Flame & Shogun Flame.

"Shogun is going to change the way filmmakers expose an image and will soon makes its way onto nearly every production"

Abandon Visual

Shogun Flame on Video Cameras:

The Shogun Flame stays on the tripod or shoulder rig setup permanently, especially now that it runs with two batteries we can really just focus on getting the shot and not about when we have to change batteries next. The ability to capture raw to ProRes is the future and Atomos has nailed it once again and are ahead of the curve. The ProRes files we recorded were very clean and the file sizes were small. The 10-bit was gorgeous and really allowed us to push the image in post to get exactly what we had envisioned.

No Sun Hood Needed:

We did not have the included Flame Sun Hood at the time of this project, but we did not miss it to be perfectly honest. I must sound like a broken record by now, but the screen is so bright and clear in the harshest viewing environments, a sun hood is NOT essential.

Long Battery Life:

Both Ninja Flame and Shogun Flame now have an additional battery plate so you can hot swap batteries whilst in use. We used the dual Sony L series batteries which lasted well over the entire 4-hour race track sequence even when recording the whole time. This brings me back to my experience with the Ninja Blade with continuous power which I still use with my C100mkII. It is so refreshing to see Atomos take user feed back on and act on it.

The New Monitoring Standard:

In conclusion, for this Tesla shoot both the Shogun and Ninja Flames performed beyond our expectation. It can run all day without a hiccup and the monitoring in AtomHDR mode needs to be seen to be believed – It’s going to be very difficult to use any other screen besides the Flame now. I am confident that AtomHDR will be the new monitoring standard among productions of all scales, and I can not wait to get it on set again for my clients to take advantage of this new and innovative technology.

Playback Review:

The ability to playback footage on a nice 7” crystal clear screen has become essential to our workflow. We are able to really dig into each shot to make sure its exactly what we want before we move on. It’s great how we are able to just get all of the features off the screen when showing clients as well so they can truly see the image for what it is.

Dock and Drop into Premiere:

When we record into the monitor, the workflow is seamless in post. The ProRes files drop automatically into Adobe Premiere Pro CC and we are able to start cutting and creating the story. The footage plays natively without any codec issues and plays instantly without having to do any transcoding. With the ability to record the 10-bit signal from our cameras, we are able to retain the quality throughout the edit process. Color Grading the files is effortless, we have full control with creating any look that we need for final output.

Perfect For

Cinema

As the industry moves to HDR content delivery, ensure you’re exposing correctly on set with AtomHDR, delivering a post production 10-bit quality HDR image on a field monitor for the first time. DIT’s will appreciate the instant playback at HDR quality and can instantly check footage with the built in waveform, false color and focus peaking tools.

Documentary

Mount Shogun Flame on your video camera and combine world class monitoring with recording from either HDMI or SDI cameras. For select Sony and Canon Raw cameras, unlock 4K by recording direct from the SDI output to ProRes or DNxHR. Monitor audio as well with connection to balanced XLR microphones and the hot swappable dual battery system lets you shoot for hours in the field.

Indie Film

The Shogun Flame is a versatile tool on set for Indie filmmakers. Connect with a wireless transmitter and you have a 7” 10-bit mobile director’s monitor, use it in space-tight scenes that call for a DSLR to capture higher quality ProRes/DNxHR or use as a proxy recorder with higher resolution cameras to streamline the workflow. Adding AtomHDR & High Brightness only further enhances the flexibility on set.
